Cursor Adds Feature to Build, Deploy and Share Web Apps

Cursor's new feature lets cloud agents build a web app from a description, deploy it and share it by link, handling the database and authentication setup.

Cursor, the AI coding agent, on November 5 launched a feature that automates building and deploying web apps and lets users share them through a link. Users describe the app they want, and Cursor sets up elements such as the database and authentication. It is available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled.

The feature targets a common problem: AI agents have made writing code easier, but many of the apps and tools they produce never leave the local machine. Cursor points to internal business apps, web tools shared within a team and customer presentations as typical uses.

How it works

Once a user tells the cloud agent what to build, Cursor creates the web app scaffold. Where needed, it also builds a Postgres database, configures authentication through Cursor SSO and prepares hosting. If the app must connect to existing systems, Cursor asks the user to enter secrets.

To publish, the user picks a unique domain and receives an access link. Apps can be deployed from Cursor Origin and from new or existing GitHub repositories, and support for Git providers such as GitLab is planned soon.

Security and sharing

Before publication, Cursor runs a security check that detects secrets written into files and exposed credentials. An app stays unpublished until it passes the check and the user explicitly chooses to publish it. Team administrators can review apps and secrets, add custom rules, approve publication and take apps offline.

Published apps can be shared with specific users, groups or an entire team, and access requires signing in to Cursor. Individual plans also support public sharing. Using a Cursor API key, apps can also be called from scripts and from Grok Bot.
